Ericoid mycorrhizal (ErM) fungi are a specialized group of fungi that form symbiotic relationships with plants in the Ericaceae family, which includes economically important species like ...

A study from the U.K. showed that the mycelium networks of mushrooms communicate via electrical signals in what appears to be ...

One of the best strategies is to use beneficial soil microbes, including arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, in order to increase plant tolerance to salt. The findings of this review showed that salinity ...

A new study led by the University of Oxford has used a modeling approach to show that it is unlikely that plants would evolve ...

Rather than helping each other out when they're attacked, plants may have to eavesdrop on each other to know when to launch ...

DOHA: The Ministry of Municipality has launched a hands-on initiative on the use of mycorrhizal fungi for vegetable crops aimed at facilitating sustainable food security.Held ...

The findings suggest that plants are more likely to passively “eavesdrop” on their neighbors through shared fungal networks.

It is more likely plants use their communication networks to "eavesdrop" on their neighbours than alert them to dangers, an ...

A new study has used a modelling approach to show that it is unlikely that plants would evolve to warn other plants of impending attack. Instead of using their communication networks to transmit ...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are tiny fungi that live in harmony with plants, sharing their genetic diversity and creating a vibrant atmosphere in plant roots and with below-ground microbes.
